Everest Base Camp heli trek, Nepal

Before the trek, we will provide a detailed briefing about the Everest Base Camp trek, how to be responsible travelers, minimize the impact on nature and how to preserve the environment and wildlife habitat in the Everest Region. For example, we advise not to throw plastic wastages or other wastages everywhere instead use the trash bin, rubbish pit, etc, Do not pluck up flowers and plants on the way, use local tea houses, avoid bathing or washing clothes in the stream, etc. We train and encourage our staff (guide, sherpas, porters) to collect non-disposable wastages found on the way and dispose of them in a proper way. We also recommend our travelers to carry the reusable water bottles and fill them again with boiled water from the lodges to help keep the environment clean from plastic bottles.

Our customers are encouraged to implement recycling habits into their daily life as it is one of the most effective ways to help lessen landfill waste, conserve natural resources, save habitats, reduce pollution, cut down on energy consumption, and slow down global warming.

We encourage the local people to avoid deforestation and do more aforestation programs and avoid animals poaching to save the environment and the wildlife habitat. Providing food wastages to domestic animals if possible too. We will also encourage the local people to use kerosene/gas fuel instead of firewood to minimize the impact on the environment.

The group size 1-8 people will be more convenient which can assist to minimize the impact on the environment.

While on the trail we will be passing through the local villages, forests, rivers, mountains, etc where we will encounter different domestic and wildlife animals, birds, etc. For wildlife viewing, or when traveling through wildlife-rich areas, the guide will brief the guests to view the wildlife in a responsible way. For example: keeping minimum distances, not using camera flashes, etc. The guide will explain the culture, scenery, flora, and fauna during the trek giving our clients a better insight into the local environment as well as a better respect for it. We only sell vacations in Nepal on a guided basis, for the client safety and to support the local economy.

Travelers are encouraged to be more focused on Eco-tourism and Green tourism so that they can help to preserve the wildlife and the environment and also help to minimize the negative impact on local cultures.

We recognize that flying is not a sustainable form of travel, however, it allows to be able to financially benefit numerous local communities from tourism.
Apart from short internal flights, the rest of the trekking is on foot with porters to transport luggage.

We originally belong to the Everest region, also known as the "Sherpas". Before choosing the staff for the trek. (for e.g. guide, porters and local tea houses suppliers) we make sure a like-minded staff is chosen. who also works to preserve the culture, environment, and community.

During the trek, we will be staying in the local tea houses which uses local and seasonally grown food which help to cuts down food travel miles which some restaurants feel they have to have in order to cater for 'western' guests.
